Painting Kevin's old wheels?
Had to... the field paint wasn't too professional.
Anyone know what style these rims are? I really like them.

Nice card trick!

Almost done. The fiancée isn't too happy about the paint fumes that are in the entire house now but at least they're painted!

Not arguing against it, I know how crazy they were in person haha. Style 18's I believe.

Can you guys help me shead some light on the M3's cylinders misfires?
@DrLeadFoot
-
Well smotth running values def indicates cylinders 1 and 2 misfiring at that time. BUt your fault codes show more, and a low fuel level fault also. When does the misfire occur? Id be inclined to either investigate cylinders 1 and 2 or clear all faults, make sure you have more then a 1/4 tank of gas and see what faults return. coils. plugs, injectors could all cause this.
-
Plugs and coils have been replaced recently. Usually #6 always throws a code. The tank was full.

I cant believe all the crap you can read off newer control modules. That would drive the OCD crazy with all the faults that come up
You have no idea, I bought the scanner that can tap into every module in my e46. It is ridiculous what it will record, "low voltage passenger side mirror" for example. It was a shadow code so it wasn't actively happening. If you unplug anything it will remember.
Gets crazy, and that's on a 2000, imagine what the 2014 cars are like.
-
I printed the codes from an autologic(?) Scanner. It comes on right after start up after clearing. I have frank smith software.

Ok so its a present fault. Do all the misfire faults come back? cylinder 1 and 2 could be the culprit and causing the rest to store faults also. What if you remove the software and clear? Easiest thing would be to swap coils and plugs with differenct cylinders just to make sure its not either of them. I know you stated they were new but still. Next would be fuel injectors.
